Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point in an object where all the objects mass is concentrated. It's also the rotating point of any object. If you throw an object, it will always rotate around a certain point. That point is it's center of gravity. The center of gravity most commonly lies in the center of a symmetrical geometric shape. In order for humans to stand without falling over, there is a fixed line that travels up through the middle of your feet, through your center of gravity, and through the top of your head. If your center of gravity travels away from this fixed line, you will lose your balance and not be able to stand up. Balance is a big part of your center of gravity. Your center of gravity is the one point where all the balance points in your body lie. There are multiple tests you can do to find your center of gravity, but in most people your center of gravity lies in your lower abdomen area, which is right where your geometric center is located. Another interesting fact about the center of gravity is that, in a machine with many moving parts. It's center of gravity can change as the parts inside of it move around.
